Analysis by international organizations including the European Union and various UN agencies showed that the number of people suffering from hunger or experiencing food insecurity increased worldwide in 2022.
The report found that more than a quarter of a billion people suffered severe hunger or catastrophic famine last year. Under the impact of conflicts, economic shocks, and climate events, food insecurity rose further in 2022, with 258 million people in need of urgent assistance compared to 193 million the previous year, a report by several UN agencies warned Wednesday.
